This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

To celebrate and preserve the arts and culture of Hialeah, Florida’s fifth largest city, Miami Dade College will create and launch the Hialeah Cultural Center.

A launch event will showcase the work of area artists and feature a public discussion on intellectual and artistic freedom. Additional activities include hands-on art projects and a video of oral histories from Hialeah.

Knight Foundation sponsors the grand jury prizes for the festival, which is produced and presented by Miami Dade College. "These prizes help place the festival – and Miami's growing film scene – on the world stage," said Dennis Scholl, vice president/arts and Miami program director for Knight Foundation, which has supported the festival since 2006. "For South Floridians, the arts are also one way to bring our diverse community together. Films spark dialogue, transport us and move us, creating the common cultural experiences that make great cities." "The Knight Foundation awards continue to be the bedrock of our ability to attract high-quality North American and U.S. premieres to Miami," said festival executive director Jaie Laplante. "We are fortunate to have the continued support of the foundation, and an invitation to the three Knight Foundation competitions continues to be highly-sought among international and domestic filmmakers."

| 25,000.00 | 6 | -- | Communities, Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5189 | -- | Grant period: 04/01/2011 - 04/30/2012; goal: To produce a special exhibition of Secretary Madeleine Albright's personal collection of jewelry used as part of U.S. diplomacy and now open to the community "Read My Pins" in the Freedom Tower includes a snake Albright began wearing because Iraqi news media called her a "serpent" for attacking Saddam Hussein, Miami New Times reported. It was that gesture that started her on using her jewelry for something more than decoration. Albright used another pin, a bluebird with diamonds and rubies, after Cuban planes shot down one flown by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. She placed the pin so the bird's head was down in mourning. The exhibit is sponsored by Miami Dade College. When Albright visited it Wednesday for an opening reception she made another kind of statement, with a gold brooch given her years ago by the college president, Eduardo Padron, The Miami Herald said. "I might wear a turtle because it has been slow for the Cuban people," Albright responded when asked what pin she would wear to show support for the country now. |
